Jewellery Insurance: How Does It Work?

How Does Jewellery Insurance Work?

Jewellery insurance is a specialised cover designed just for jewellery. Jewellery insurance policies provide specific benefits that consider how you use your jewellery and how it should be treated if lost, stolen or damaged.

You’re about to buy the most expensive piece of jewellery you’ve ever owned. Of course you want to protect it! But if you’ve never had a specialised jewellery insurance policy before, you may have lots of questions:

• • How does it work?

  • How do I purchase it?

  • What does it cover?

  • How can it help?

In this article, we’ll walk you through the basics. By the time you’re through, you’ll feel confident enough to rock that jewellery without worry.

How Does Jewellery Insurance Work?

Unlike some other types of insurance, jewellery cover is very straightforward. You purchase coverage for a specific item of jewellery or a luxury watch, and its full value is covered.

If something happens to it, you submit a claim. Typically, we’ll need a police report and a statutory declaration to process the paperwork. Then, you sit back and relax while we work with your chosen jeweller to repair or replace the item.

How Do I Purchase Jewellery Insurance?

Buying JewelCover insurance couldn’t be simpler. 

Start with an instant quote to find out how inexpensive it can be to protect your favourite jewellery. If you want to proceed, you’ll submit some documentation, and we’ll start your policy.

We recommend that you start your policy at the point of sale. That way, it will be covered from the moment you walk it out of the store. 

Every year when it’s time to renew, one of our jewellery experts will conduct a revaluation. The price of jewellery fluctuates depending on the availability of materials, precious metal prices, labour costs, exchange rates and so forth. That’s why it’s imperative that you know the current value of your jewellery.

If the value of your jewellery has gone up or down, we’ll renew at the new value.

What Does Jewellery Insurance Cover?

What if the diamond falls out of your engagement ring? Will your grandfather’s Rolex be covered if it’s stolen?
